Abstract
It is known that the etale cohomology of a potentially good abelian variety over a local field K is determined by its Euler factors over the extensions of K. We extend this to all abelian varieties, show that it is enough to take extensions where A is semistable, and give a uniform version over p-adic fields where the extensions are the same for all abelian varieties of a given dimension. The results are explicit, and apply to a wide class of Weil-Deligne representations.
